This is a great opportunity to join one of the largest barristers’ chambers in the country, and to commence or further develop a career as a barristers’ clerk.

The Job Family has 5 Levels, from Junior to Senior Clerk, offering excellent long term personal development and career progression.

You’ll need to be able to demonstrate strong written and spoken communication skills, the ability to follow processes carefully and with particular attention to detail, a polite and friendly manner, confidence with IT, a willingness to learn and the ability to work well with colleagues to deliver an excellent overall service.
Ideally you will have proven experience of working as an Office Assistant, Administrator or Clerk in a barristers’ chambers or similar legal or professional services environment. Essentially, you will have working experience of administration, confidence and experience in the use of office ICT and equipment and a flexible and team-oriented approach.
In return we offer a friendly and sociable working environment, a competitive salary and benefits package and, with over 40 clerking roles across our four sites, excellent opportunities for peer support and career development in the company.
